When you think of hard rock, One Direction is likely not the first band that comes to mind. Along the same lines, most people wouldn’t expect Fall Out Boy to churn out the same kind of upbeat pop that One Direction’s fans (“Directioners”) have come to love. But a One Direction/Fall Out Boy collaboration is coming, an anonymous source told theDaily Star this past Friday.

The Daily Star‘s source mentioned that 1D wants to begin making more “mature” music, and that pop artist Ed Sheeran will appear alongside bands including Fall Out Boy, The Cribs, All Time Low, and The Cribs for One Direction’s new album. However, the Daily Star mentioned that One Direction will still be performing under Simon Cowell’s music label, SyCo Music.

If you’re unfamiliar with Fall Out Boy, sampling their latest album “American Beauty/American Psycho” will give you a decent idea of what they’re about. The album features the edgy rock song “Centuries”, which can more or less be said to emulate the driving dance/rock beat of past hits such as “Dance, Dance” and “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs” (“Thanks For The Memories”). Needless to say, it would be odd to see the band paired up against a peppy pop group that is essentially the Backstreet Boys or N*Sync of this decade.

After band member Zayn Malik made a dramatic departure from the band in a move that’s sure to make the jaws of fangirls and boys everywhere drop, the Daily Star pointed out the fact that this may be One Direction’s last album, and they are looking for something that can define and somewhat summarize their career. Whether bringing bands like Fall Out Boy or All Time Low on board will achieve that goal, or make fans of the former complain that One Direction just killed “real” music remains to be seen.

Whether the rumors are true or not, the country’s favorite boy band will have to see whether Fall Out Boy can squeeze them in between playing opening night at Wrigley Field on April 5. The band tweeted fans with both of these exciting news items, but their Twitter didn’t even hint at the supposed One Direction collaboration.

Fall Out Boy, who recently defeated Lana Del Rey in a “Musical March Madness” tournament, will be touring starting in October 2015, their Twitter reports. Unfortunately for American fans, you’ll have to go across the pond to see your favorite band; they’ll only be touring in the United Kingdom this time around.

Whether the rumors of a Fall Out Boy/One Direction collaboration are true or not, working together probably wouldn’t hurt either band’s sales given that they’re both still pretty omnipresent in the eyes of the public and have been for several years. What’s your take on the situation? Would working with One Direction alienate Fall Out Boy’s die-hard fans, or will it only serve to increase their popularity due to working with a band that is already so well-known?

Miguel Cotto joined the Jay-Z run Roc Nation Sports promotional company earlier this month, leaving promoter Bob Arum and Top Rank Promotions who had steered the Puerto Rican icon’s career since shortly after Cotto’s appearance at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

Under the Arum promotional banner, Cotto took just two years as a pro to win his first world title, at the junior welterweight level, followed by another championship captured in his first fight at welterweight.

Along the way, the now 34-year-old Cotto has compiled an impressive 39-4 record. And of his four losses, two came at the hand of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, long acknowledged as the top two pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

The first loss of Cotto’s career came to Antonio Margarito, who it was later discovered, was likely fighting with illegally plaster-filled gloves. When Cotto fought a rematch against Margarito on equal, legal terms, he essentially annihilated the Mexican welterweight.

After an inexplicable loss to unheralded Austin Trout in December of 2012, Cotto refused to give up, and when he destroyed high-ranked pound-for-pounder Sergio Martinez to win the middleweight belt on June 7 of last year, Cotto appeared to have recaptured his star and was prepared to take his place as — short of Mayweather and Pacquiao themselves — boxing’s biggest gate attraction.

Then the pay-per-view numbers for the Martinez fight came in at an unimpressive 350,000, and a bit of the luster fell from Cotto’s sheen in the eyes of the boxing world.

Then, for reasons that have still not been fully explained, Cotto allowed negotiations with Mexican superstar Saul Canelo Alvarez to drag on to the point where the deal fell apart. A Puerto Rico vs. Mexico showdown between the two hottest stars from each locale promised to be the year’s second-biggest fight (again, behind Mayweather vs. Pacquiao).

“I have nothing to say to Bob Arum. He’s never given me anything,” Cotto said. “What I have is a product of my effort.”

But what will Jay-Z give to Miguel Cotto? While as at least the titular head of Roc Nation Sports, the rapper carries a bigger name in the entertainment industry than any other boxing promoter, the boxing industry is built not on piop culture fame — but on personal relationships.

Newly minted boxing promoter Jay-Z attending his company’s first fight card in January in New York.

That’s why the bulk of dates on HBO and Showtime go to fighters controlled by Arum or Oscar De La Hoya — or perhaps most importantly, to backstage boxing power broker Al Haymon.

Haymon and Jay-Z reportedly have a deep animosity toward one another, and Jay-Z has no history with the sports production arms of either major pay cable network.

Meanwhile, Haymon has made a push to put boxing back on “free” network TV with his Premier Boxing Champions series — another outlet that will in all likelihood, be closed to Jay-Z controlled fighters.

Where does that leave Miguel Cotto? According to some reports, his three-fight deal with Roc Nation could be worth $50 million. But if so, where is that money supposed to come from?

Certainly not from fights with nonentities like Cornelius “K9″ Bundrage, who was in line to serve as Cotto’s first Roc Nation fall guy — until Arum apparently lured Bundrage away for a fight against Timothy Bradley.

Cotto is now looking at more than year without a fight, with no credible opponent on the horizon — and no TV outlet for his next fight, whoever he faces.

At least for the time being, the deal between Jay-Z and Miguel Cotto has put Cotto’s career in limbo. With few matchups after the May 2 Mayweather vs. Pacquiao clash that appear capable of generating wide public interest, putting one of boxing’s few remaining stars on ice is not only bad for Miguel Cotto, but for the entire sport.

With most of the votes now counted, the former military leader is ahead of incumbent Jonathan by roughly three million votes. Analysts believe that with few votes still remaining to

The election has been filled with allegations of fraud and a series of difficulties at the polls, including attacks and technical glitches

The election was already held up several weeks due to militant attacks in Nigeria. Voting was originally slated for mid February, but was pushed back until the end of March after a series of attacks from Boko Haram.

The militant group again launched attacks during the current round of voting, including some that left voters dead.

Observers are worried that more violence could be to come. When Goodluck Jonathan defeated Buhari in the previous election it led to widespread protests and demonstration, and the clashes led to more than 800 people being killed.

“So far, we have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process,” said the statement from UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. “But there are disturbing indications that the collation process, where the votes are finally counted, may be subject to deliberate political interference.”

There were technical problems for the current voting as well. Al Jazeera noted many glitches with the new system for reading voting cards and biometric card-reading machines. Goodluck Jonathan himself had to wait 20 minutes at his polling station after the system could not read his fingerprint.

There were some hacking attacks as well, including an attack on the INEC’s official website that left the message: “Struck by Nigerian Cyber Army!”

If the Nigeria 2015 election results hold up, the win for Muhammadu Buhari will be the first time that an opposition candidate has ever won in Nigeria.

Live results from the 2015 Nigeria presidential election can be found here or here. Stay tuned for more details on the 2015 Nigeria election.

Nicole Kidman’s divorce with Tom Cruise was widely believed to have been in part caused by his affiliation with the controversial Church of Scientology, Bustle reported. The two divorced in 2001, and at the time tabloid news coverage suggested Scientology had something to do with Nicole Kidman divorcing Tom Cruise.

“Because it happened long before we discovered the wealth of information available on the internet and social media, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s 2001 divorce wasn’t exactly awash in public details. Sure, there were tabloid-perpetuated whispers that the Church of Scientology broke Cruise and Kidman up, but that was an easy enough assumption considering that the de facto spokes-celeb for the Church married a woman who was raised strictly Catholic, and still is Catholic, according to the BBC. In HBO’s Scientology documentary Going Clear, Cruise and Kidman’s divorce is blown up to greater proportions and the claims are pretty wild,” Bustle reported.

It has also been suggested that, because Nicole Kidman’s last father, Anthony Kidman, was a psychologist, that leaders of the Church of Scientology were uneasy with her. The Church of Scientology has a reputation for being very much against psychology and psychiatry. The Church denies this and other claims from the documentary, Going Clear.

Nicole Kidman, according to Going Clear, was allegedly labeled a “suppressive person.”

According the the Scientology website, a suppressive person is defined as such: “A Suppressive Person (SP) is a person who seeks to suppress other people in their vicinity. A Suppressive Person will goof up or vilify any effort to help anybody and particularly knife with violence anything calculated to make human beings more powerful or more intelligent.”

Nicole Kidman’s children were allegedly turned against her, according to Going Clear. Her children were allegedly brainwashed to go against Nicole Kidman, who apparently was never converted to become a member of the Church of Scientology.

“Rathbun says that he believes the Church “brainwashed” the Cruise-Kidman children, Connor and Isabella, to stand against Nicole. If true, this detail adds yet another layer to this intriguing story, however Connor recently toldWomen’s Day Australia that he and his mother are “solid,” saying “I’ll always love my mum,” so it would seem that Kidman’s bond with the children is in tact,” Bustle reported.

The Huffington Post covered this controversy, and listed the 16 allegations against the Church of Scientology made in the documentary Going Clear.

“The Church of Scientology has long been a controversial institution among both the religious community and entertainment business. But the latest documentary from Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney, “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” explores the secrets of the organization through interviews with former high-ranking officials and former members in a way never seen before,” the Huffington Post reported.

The Church of Scientology feared Nicole Kidman and caused her divorce with Tom Cruise, the Inquisitr reported earlier this month.

“This past Monday, the creators of the documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison Of Belief sat down and held a panel discussion. The controversial film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, and the creators talked about their belief that the Church of Scientology destroyed Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s marriage,” the Inquisitr reported.

You may have been surprised enough when you first heard about the “selfie stick,” a device which allows you to picture yourself from a slight distance, but what about some “selfie shoes”?!

It was only a matter of time before somebody came up with the idea, and in this case that somebody was a US shoe brand called Miz Mooz, which has a docking port in the toe of the $200 shoe, which has a a toe-activated sensor on the inner sole.

Many fashionistas took to social media to express the fact they thought the shoe was an April Fool’s prank and not real. As One Twitter user commented, “We live in a joke of a world #selfieshoe (sic),” another user Tweeted, one person wrote “The selfie shoe is a joke people. It’s absolutely a joke.”

As well as the impracticality of lifting one’s leg high enough to snap a selfie, if a woman were wearing a skirt it would render the device totally useless.

Nevertheless, a spokesperson for Miz Mooz confirmed that the shoes are very much real, and offer a solution for people who don’t want to carry around a selfie stick.

As Miz Mooz Director of Design Cheryl Matson said, “In thinking about bringing innovation to our shoes, we asked ourselves, “How do we take the everyday comfort and convenience our consumers have come to love about our footwear to the next step?”‘

Matson continued that, “Another great thing about the selfie shoes is that you no longer have to use your arm, so both hands are now free to be in the photo.”

With the recent widespread ban on selfie sticks, at concerts, festivals and even museums, the new shoes do indeed offer a solution for those who are addicted to selfies.

Could there be another version of the iPhone 6 on the way? On Monday, the Internet went abuzz after pictures of the alleged 4-inch iPhone 6c leaked. Antony Leather of Forbes describes the alleged iPhone 6c.

“Not everyone is a fan of larger smartphones but it seems there’s even more evidence that Apple is indeed planning a smaller iPhone 6 – dubbed the 6c. Leaked photos appear to show an iPhone 5c-like chassis with a plastic housing and curved edges, but also one that’s distinctly smaller than the iPhone 6 – Apple’s smallest model in the latest range and the smaller sibling of the 6 Plus.”

MacRumors also believes the pictures hint to the eventual release of the iPhone 6c.

“Apple did not refresh the iPhone 5c when it launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus last year, leading to speculation that the plastic smartphone might be discontinued from the smartphone lineup. Last week, however, it was reported that Apple is planning to release three new iPhones later this year, including the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and 4-inch iPhone 6c.”

While plenty of Apple and iPhone fans are excited, the pictures may be fake or at least are not an indication of anything to come. The Inquisitr talked to Los Angeles based industry analyst Paul Mueller, who believes that an iPhone 6c is not in the works.

“If Apple was going to release the iPhone 6c, it would have happened last year. There is no possible way that, at least right now, a smaller version of the iPhone 6 would survive in the market. There is a very small group of consumers who prefer smaller smartphones, but not enough to make an impact.”

Even Techno Buffalo isn’t completely convinced by the images of the alleged iPhone 6c.

“Of course, it’s possible this could be a fake mockup. It wouldn’t be too difficult to take an iPhone 5c shell and drill some extra holes. Hopefully that’s not the case, though we won’t know for sure unless Apple reveals the new device later this year,” the website states.

However, it seems more certain that there will be two new iPhone units available in September — the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Both smartphones are said to have faster processors, more memory, and even better screens than both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. There are also rumors that Apple will produce a virtual reality headset for the next iPhone. Do you believe that Apple is really going to create an “iPhone 6c”? Let us know in the comments section.

The baby girl, who has yet to be named, was born Thursday in a village in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh http://t.co/irMaOR1LAC — Stephen Mwiri (@StephenMwiri) March

The baby girl, who hasn’t yet been given a name, was born last week in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, in the town of Aligarh. The otherwise-healthy baby has a facial deformity between her eyes that, to many believers, resembles an elephant’s trunk. This means that, to some believers, she resembles Ganesha, who is said to have the face of an elephant, her aunt, Rajani, explains.

“My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl at 7:00 a.m. and her face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha. Everybody is saying she is an incarnation of the God. This is why whoever hears about her is coming here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings possible.”

One such worshiper, identified only as Neelam, said that seeing the baby girl has brought her peace.

“I believe this baby is an incarnation of Lord Ganesha and hence I have come here. I feel very peaceful having come here.”

The Daily Mail reports that the baby girl has been nicknamed “Lord Ganpatni,” which means “Ganesha’s Wife.”

According to About Hindusim, Ganesha, who is sometimes depicted as an elephant riding a mouse, is considered one of the five main deities in Hinduism.

“All Hindus worship Ganesha regardless of their sectarian belief. He is both the beginning of the religion and the meeting ground for all Hindus.”

He’s also called “The Lord of Success” and “the destroyer of evils and obstacles.” As such, offerings are given to him in hopes of good luck. The girl is the fourth child of a poor family of laborers. Her father, a vegetable vendor, hopes his daughter’s resemblance to Ganesha will bring the family better luck.

I hope the offerings are made in form of money which can be used for the new born’s surgery.Common people seriously! http://t.co/sdoKCQt5Hf — Pushpa Koneri (@Smile_24x7) March 29, 2015

Doctors say the girl’s facial protrusion is non-life-threatening, and is the result of a gene mutation, probably due to malnutrition or pollution.

Kit Harington feels like a piece of meat and he’s not going to take it anymore. Ahead of its season 5 premiere, the Game of Thrones actor told Page Six that he thinks being called a hunk is “demeaning.”

Instead, Harington – who plays Jon Snow on Game of Thrones – would rather people concentrate on his work than his “ripped abs, sky-high cheekbones and soulful eyes,” as the gossip rag put it.

“When an actor is seen only for her physical beauty, it can be quite offensive … I’m in a successful TV show in a kind of leading man way and it can sometimes feel like your art is being put to one side for your sex appeal. And I don’t like that.”

Harington’s body usually hidden with layers upon layers of clothes and grit on Game of Thrones, and surely will continue to be in season five. His screaming female fans only got a peak in the show’s first season – back when all the Starks were still alive – and during an erotic love scene with wilding Ygritte in a cave above the wall (which actually didn’t feature his caboose at all, but a stunt caboose).

Regardless, the Game of Thrones actor is one of many hunky celebrities who are constantly asked how they feel about hunk-hood. And the question is no less offensive than when a female actor is complimented on her appearance rather than the quality of her work.

“Some male actors are constantly asked what it’s like to be heartthrob or—slightly more subtly—what it’s like to have thousands of young teen girls as fans. The implication here is: ‘You are famous because people want to have sex with you.'”

Game of Thrones‘ Harington, Benedict Cumberbatch, Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch are regular victims of these questions. But no one has been more objectified, perhaps, than John Hamm; fans have dedicated a Tumblr page to seeking out the actor’s – well, private parts – through his pants.

“And of course, part of the job description of being a movie star is being beautiful. Objectification comes with the territory, and it’s hard to muster sympathy for someone who seems to have it all,” Time continued. “But journalists who interview Harington, and the people who read those articles, can hear his request, think about it and try to respect it.”

Ironically, those legions Game of Thrones‘ female fans – who’ll no doubt wait for Jon Snow to drop trow in season five – have probably been objectified themselves. After all, women have been turned into sex objects for centuries.

As for Harington, the Thrones star told Page Six he has a lot in common with his character. Not only is he uncomfortable as a hunk, he’s introverted and has a hard time fitting in. And perhaps Jon Snow has given him a bit of courage to speak his mind.

“Well, I have an inner warrior. And I’m proud of my inner warrior. He fights for me every day… I can be quite brave in situations and foolhardy at the same time.”

An Italian grandmother poisoned herself, her husband, her son, and her grandchildren with a 25-year-old hot chocolate packet. The 77-year-ld woman identified as Mrs. Rosetta, made the cold-weather favorite as a treat for her family, not realizing she was placing herself and her loved ones in danger.

Mrs. Rosetta is from northeastern Italy in the town of Vicenza. The grandman made the hot chocolate for the family at the request of her grandchildren and her friend. She reportedly made extra cups for the adults to enjoy.

Not long after the 25-year-old hot chocolate was served, the Italian grandma and her family, and the friend, were all transported to a local hospital with stomach pain and vomiting. Vicenza authorities were reportedly able to trace illness to the hot chocolate sachets which expired in 1990.

Mrs. Rosetta’s husband was the first to become ill and complain of vomiting and an upset stomach about an hour after drinking the 25-year-old hot chocolate, according to a report by Il Mattino. After the husband became ill, the grandma, the rest of the family, and the friend, shortly followed suit.

The entire family was rushed to the hospital after the hot chocolate poisoning. One of the grandchildren had to be kept for treatment for 20 days, according to a report in Corriere Del Veneto. Theobromine poisoning or chocolate poisoning is reportedly caused by an overdose to the xanthine alkaloid theobromine found in chocolate, tea, or cola beverages. Lethal doses of theobromine have reportedly only been known to occur in humans, cats, dogs, rats, and mice.

Cocoa beans contain about 1.2% percent theobromine by weight on average. A single ounce of of raw cacao reportedly contains approximately 0.3 grams of theobromine. Processed chocolate typically contains smaller amounts of thebromine. The amount of theobromine is reportedly less significant in “highly-refined” chocolate candies, such as dark chocolate or unsweetened baker’s chocolate. Typically, the amount of theobromine present in chocolate is small enough such that the sweet treat can be consumed safely by humans. Some occasional serious side effects may resulting from the large consumption of chocolate have been reported in the elderly.

Although the hot chocolate poisoning by the Italian grandma appears to the local law enforcement officers to be accidental, the 77-year-old woman has been charged with “causing injury.” The 25-year-old hot chocolate case has now been passed onto the prosecuting attorney’s desk for further consideration.

Katie Holmes is reaping praise for her daring cutout fashion choice while at the same time receiving attention with the airing of a new Scientology documentary, Going Clear. The ex-wife of Tom Cruise turned heads when she chose a hot pink cocktail dress with a cutout that allowed her to flaunt her flat abs at the Woman In Gold premiere, reported the Daily Mail.

At 36, Katie awed onlookers at the Museum Of Modern Art’s elite event. As for her date for the film premiere starring Helen Mirren, Katie belied all those rumors that she’s going out with Jamie Foxx by showing up with the designer of her pink dress, Zac Posen.

And giving credit to her team, Holmes posted appreciation for the experts who helped her sizzle.

“So grateful for my friends and for such a lovely night. @zac_posen @djquintero #womaningold #MOMA.”

While eight-year-old Suri Cruise didn’t attend the event, she has become a hot topic again in the wake of a documentary about Scientology. As the Inquisitr reported, Tom Cruise admitted that Katie’s desire to protect her daughter from being raised in the Church of Scientology was a motivation for her decision to divorce him.

Now HBO’s Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief has taken viewers inside the world of that religion, reported the Washington Post. Based on Lawrence Wright’s book, the documentary showcased both church officials and former members.

And among the highlights, the impact on Scientology celebrity members such as Cruise and John Travolta was detailed. Wright charges that Scientology head David Miscavige turns to such stars for two purposes. He employs them both to provide funds and to encourage others, including fellow celebs, to join.

Although Cruise hit a rocky section of his path through Scientology to the tap, his divorce to Nicole Kidman provided Miscavige with the opportunity to encourage Tom to become a leader in promoting the Church of Scientology to the world.

Current church officials offered a statement on the claims.

“The church claims that Miscavige has no involvement in Cruises’s personal life,” said Going Clear director Alex Gibney.

As for Katie Holmes? She’s secretly enjoying life with Jamie Foxx, according to Us Weekly, especially after her highly publicized divorce from Cruise.

“Jamie is someone she can trust and have fun with,” revealed an insider who knows both Katie and Jamie. “She’s getting everything from Jamie that she didn’t get with Tom.”
